The Chair, Mell Webster opened the meeting by welcoming
those present.
Mell asked that the minutes of the previous meeting on
10/02/2026 becirculated with the agenda, be taken as
read and signed as an accurate record of the meeting.
**Chair’s Report:**
Mell reported that she wasn’t happy at the way the LCC has
handle the extension building work and refurbishment for the
setting. I feel that to cancel it again is heart breaking
because of all the hard work that has gone into.
I would like to thank all the staff for all the hard work over the
last 12 months and especially for their work on upgrading
the outdoor area. It is looking lovely.
Mell also thanked the committee for their input and support.|MW|On-going| |2|**Election of Roles**

As the council still haven’t billed us for any rent since they took
over responsibility for our classroom there is at least £1,833.37 to
come off these totals.
The bookswerefinallyreturnedfromthe accountantin Apriland||| ## **Cherry Tots Pre-School** **Agenda Items** showed a healthy profit of £12,645, however, this financial year is looking for a lot less profitable, mainly due to an increase in wages. We are also expecting the rent to go up considerably when the council eventually bill us. The transition from Cherry Tots Pre-School to Cherry Tots CIO hasn’t gone very smoothly with HMRC and we are still waiting for confirmation that they have changed our status. I am hopeful that the whole transition will be completed before the end of our financial year on 30/09/2026 which will enable us to close the old bank accounts. Also, ongoing at the moment is a query with West Lindsey district council as to why we are paying two lots of council tax. Andrea to liaise with WLDC to resolve the matter. ## **Cherry Tots Pre-School** |**Agenda Items**|**Agenda Items**|**Agenda Items**|**Agenda Items**| |---|---|---|---| |**4**|**Carol’s Report**
16 children currently on the register all are funded.
No safeguarding issues at present.
Update with new classroom refurb and CIO:
I am still awaiting confirmation of what works will be carried
out in the setting due to the LCC taking over the building.
Carol talked about the new outdoor area and how nice it was
looking. We have recycled the old filing cabinet into plants,
painted the shed and replaced the roof. Cut back the hedge
and painted the role play area. we have also started the
work on the roof to under cover area.
We have had some really good feedback from new parents,
so I think it was worth all the hard work.
The Chair has been in and congratulated the preschool
team for all their hard work, for their outstanding care of and
dedication to the children and the engagement with the early
year’s framework.|CQ

The main fundraising events were as follows:
Michelle talked how well the minibeast scavenger hunt went
and we are still waiting for forms to be given back. Any
money raised would go to paying for healthy snacks. Michell
thinks this is why the response so far has been good.
